I think WD/Seagate version is the "lite" verison. Any change for that?

It's the "full" personal version, i.e. does partitioning, full/incremental backup, full/selective restore, imaging, recovery, etc. Download the manuals from the links I provided and see for yourself.

What do they do that this version can't? How important is that? Maybe when Win8 comes out this version won't support it. But in my experience WD will post a newer version that does.

But would I want XP even if it was free?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with XP for basic work on a low-end system. Yes it lacks some useful features (and a lot of gratuitous eyecandy and other useless bloat) that's in Vista/7 but with an older, slower PC, that's a plus for XP.

Which is why I gave you a "Thank"

Like I said, I have it installed, and it works well (Win 7 Pro)

Free is free... It's a good program!

bylo, I didn't intend to bash your post in any way.

I know so many people who refuse to use "older" programs,
so I was just making reference. (besides the fact that it is no longer available for download)
